Sex organ work out



You've heard of the vaginal muscle exercises women do, right? They're called "Kegel" exercises; often referred to as "Kegels." At times, we could be looking right at you, while doing Kegel exercises. What?! You would've known the difference, anyway! Besides, men do them, too!

Kegler exercises are done by contracting and relaxing the muscles used to control urination. In other words, Kegels are basically done by attempting to urinate and then attempting to stop urinating, repeatedly. The muscle in question is called "Pubococcygeus." It stretches from the pubic bone, down past the anus, to the tail bone or coccyx, as we say in the medical field. The Pubococcygeus muscle also happens to contract when an orgasm occurs.

Research shows that performance of Kegel exercises improve premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and inflammation of the prostate gland. In both men and women, Kegels are documented as having helped helping improve urinary incontinence. In women particularly, research shows that Kegel exercises help ease the childbirth process.

However, since the topic of men's health seems to be kept hush-hush, I thought I would bring it up and reference more details to help promote a healthier dating pool ;-) Besides, the prostate gland facilitates orgasms in men => Orgasms are a part of sexual intercourse => which help reduce stress & increases intimacy.

As usual, it's likely that I will write a more detailed article on this topic, but you'll need to subscribe to access it.

Meanwhile, click on the title above (Sex organ work out) for additional details on men's health.

Enjoy the Christmas Season with your loved ones!

Epidurals available when you need it?




Personally, I am slightly intimidated by the pain that comes along with childbirth. So, I'm glad I've never been pregnant, especially now! One of the narcotic pain relievers that's commonly used to make epidurals, or IV medication administered through the spine, is called "Fentanyl Citrate;" as a Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT), I have made many epidurals for maternity units in the past. Well, the FDA reported more drug shortages yesterday, and Fentanyl was on their list. Certainly, hospitals are developing alternative protocols, in the interim ;-)

Good luck, pregnant ladies!
